Abstract (en)

[origin: US4552210A] Device for producing steam by heat exchange between a heat-transfer liquid metal and feed water, comprising a cylindrical casing (31) receiving liquid metal in its upper part through at least one nozzle (35, 36). The liquid metal enters in a space bounded by a central sleeve (38), a lower perforated distribution plate (40) and a first perforated plate (45). A second perforated plate (46) parallel to the latter is separated therefrom by perforated crosspieces (47). The perforated plates (45 and 46) are disposed between the sleeve (38) and a peripheral sleeve (39). The three plates (40, 45 and 46) have identical perforations which are aligned in the vertical direction. The distribution plate (40) is provided with stiffening ribs (44) ensuring the distribution of the liquid metal thereon. The invention applies, in particular, to fast breeder nuclear reactor steam generators cooled by liquid sodium.
